“God never leaves us where He finds us unless we insist.”

 

  We just finished our first trip into the Nations... It was an interesting journey because of, for example the Kenyan buses, (Matatu) and all the people who want to sale you stuff all the time because you're a" Mzungu" (white person), the time we had to work with the kids at school, the prayer room we started, etc... But I want to focus my first blog on something different... I think the best challenge I had, was to try to apply what we learned during training into my daily life of team-member from Hidden World... Its a big challenge...

They say doing a year like this is jumping into the deep end. But I experience it quite different. Jumping into the deep end only comes after doing a year like this. These people have been a part of every moment of my shaping and changing. They push me to be better. To press in when I feel like I can’t. To look up instead of surroundings. To pray first, always. They know me better than I’ve ever experienced someone knowing me, and I see Jesus in every single one of them so clearly. Parting from this family is to...

The last couple of days we have been camping in Macau at Hac Sa beach and we have really been enjoying the calm, clean nature until.....the typhoon hit!!!

9Walking in the rural area of Krabi (Thailand), Adette and I found a little playgroup. Barefeet we entered the little cresh and statred to play with them. We bought them sweeties, toys and printed out photos of them to keep. "vrot eier" without a word is quite strange, but OH so much fun!!! They opened up really quickly and as if they understood us they gave themselves completely. It is amazing how a smile can reach the deepest corner of your heart and thet from a little Thai child who can't understand you, neither can you understand them. 2Corinthians 9:8...

Ps25:1-10

"In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause. Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord, are good. Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant. "

 

I know that God is going to challenge me during this year and I know that I am going to experience a lot of things. India was our first country and there we worked hard and afterwards we would have childrens' ministry. I was not challenged by the heat at all, in fact we had great weather. I was challenge physically because of the long working hours. I got to know God as the One who listens to me... He hears my prayers! Nepal was a time of rest. God spoiled me in many ways and I got to experience...

Theres a place which you can either love or hate. But dont trust your ears for words can only deceive. Don't trust your eyes for images can hide the truth. Rather trust your heart, and let it follow the narrow roads. Sing to the music and be engulfed by a sea of culture and beauty. But be warned, once you get a taste of the rich, spicy culture, you may not want to leave.   The image I had of India was one of total poverty, sickness and a lot of interesting smells. Being pushed from all sides and always...

Ever wondered what it’ s like living in a village deep in the heart of Africa?  We had the privilege of staying in such a village way out in the bush and it was a wonderful experience.
